Guests arriving to the 2016 Met Gala will
make their way from Fifth Avenue up the
red and pink double helix “red” carpet,
and into the Metropolitan Museum’s Great
Hall. There, the double helix takes shape:
a 65-foot structure rises from the center
of the space made up of 80,000 red roses,
200,000 red silk roses, and laser-cut lace.
The double helix is a motive that represents
the intertwining relationship of handmade
and machine-made in haute couture,
resonating with the theme of the exhibition
Manus X Machina.
